Spirituality, or rabbaniyat is the elevation of man to a plane where the mind is focused on the higher, non-material realities of a godly existence. Its opposite is materialism, a course followed all too often in this world.
To put it another way, he who focuses on mere appearances is material-minded. And the one who rises above it is spiritual. He obeys the injunction of the Quran: Be devoted servants of God. (Quran: 3: 79).

Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan was founded in 1938 by Dr K. M. Munshi with the blessings of Mahatma Gandhi. Its motto was, “Let noble thoughts come to us from every side.” The aim and objective of BVB was to inculcate a value-based life and promote ethical and spiritual values. For this purpose BVB runs more than hundred educational institutions in India as well as abroad.
